Selection v St Kilda

[Mousey 47]

if Davey is ruled out, could it be time for Adaam 'The Wiz' Maric?

I hope so.

mate was about to say exactly the same!!

Bring the maric magic

Very interesting selection this week.

You have Rivers, Sylvia, Wheatley and White who all trained well and are best 22. Then you have C Johnson and Yze who have been pushing for selection in the last few weeks. On the flipside Davey, Holland and Robertson are all in doubt.

Because there will most likely be a few forced changes I believe DB will try and avoid dropping more than one player so as to not lose some of that momentum we established last week.

In: Rivers, Sylvia, Wheatley, White

Out: Davey (inj), Holland (inj), Robertson (inj), Jamar

Bartram and Bell survive another week.

possible that Cale might miss? He is sick i think?

In: Rivers, Sylvia, Wheatley, White

Out: Davey (inj), Holland (inj), Robertson (inj), Jamar

With those changes, we don't have a single marking, goal kicking forward. I wonder when the list time we played without all three of Neitz, Robertson or Holland was?

I really hope Holland is fit.

You're right, should we play Newton?

With those changes we still have Bate and Miller as tall forwards who could play deeper not to mention PJ and White who can rest forward. Add to that Green, Wonaeamirri and possibly Sylvia who could go forward and I think we'd be in as good shape as any other week.

I think Yze or Sylvia could cover for Robbo. Add Bate and Miller one or both of whom could go deeper, and a resting ruckman and there's no need to play Newton. However I don't know much about St Kilda's defence, maybe playing Newton will stretch their defenders.

St Kilda's defence is not particularly strong. Hudgton will play back and then there is Dempster and the two Fishers who are more running type defenders as well as Gram who doesn't really play on anyone. Having Holland come up will be a massive advantage for us.

Would be provided you got the ball down there quickly and with a bit of height.

If he's manned up by S. Fisher he'll be killed on the rebound

I really hope Holland is fit.

Last year only Holland played round 3 (then disappeared), they all missed 4 and 5 with Neitz returning not very auspiciously against the Power from Port.

I just fail to see what Sandy can do for him at this point. Morton is far above that level of football. He seems neither tired or jaded. How can an 18yo kid not be excited to play senior AFL every week? The Adelaide game prooved this. For the first time he played with a bit of swagger, a bit of cockiness. A goal off one step from 55 metres out and that pass to Bruce were indicative of this. I want him to play 350 games for the club.

Agree..he's shown he's up to it

Very good summation - would like to see Dunne coming into contention as well...

I would like that too.

But just think he needs to have an impact at Sandy first.
